Love
Empana's pupils constricted when he saw Ryu. The latter was like a completely different person, and yet just the same at the same time. His features were sharper, his skin clearer, his hair shinier and more luscious. But what was the most important was that his aura had completely changed. If it was like a bent and damaged blade previous due to his crippled status, it shone forth now like a shimmering and unbreakable force, a kind of aura he had rarely seen in Sky Gods, let alone a Dao Pedestal Realm expert.
It was hard to pick up on exactly what Ryu's cultivation was, even for him as a Sky God. His body seemed to both be in the Nine Life Revolutions Realm, and not. His Qi Realm seemed to be both in the Cosmic Seed Realm, and not. His Mental Realm seemed to both have reached the status of a Sky God… and not.
